Title: The Neutrality ActSpeaker : Albert Gore, Sr., 1907-1998Date Created: 1941-10-12Abstract: In this WSM radio broadcast script, Congressman Albert Gore discusses the Neutrality Act and reasons he deems adequate for its repeal. Gore argues that the health of the United States` international trade activity depends upon the business of transoceanic countries, not fellow North American nations. From a militaristic standpoint, the congressional representative believes that control of the seas is imperative to the survival of his country. Thus, Great Britain, America`s "partner in naval control" needs to be protected from the aggressor, and since the Neutrality Act "forbids [American] ships from going to the ports of Great Britain," Gore strongly suggests that the law should be repealed.Tennessee State Department of Education Eras: The Great Depression and World War II (1929-1945)Collection: Albert Gore Sr. House CollectionContributing Institution: Albert Gore Sr. Research CenterURL: http://idserver.utk.edu/?id=200700000002552add to bookbag | view long format in new window
